(MIAMI) — Three tornadoes wreaked havoc across South Florida on Monday and into Tuesday, capsizing boats and uprooting trees.

A tornado watch was issued for parts of South Central Florida earlier Tuesday, while severe thunderstorm warnings in coastal cities from Hallandale Beach to Miami eventually became tornado warnings by 8 a.m.
